LePage’s A-through-F public school grading system put on hold until fall of 2016

The Maine Department of Education announced Monday that it will not issue A-through-F report cards for schools this year.

According to a web bulletin by department spokeswoman Samantha Warren, the state is switching to a new online student assessment system this year, which will make it impossible to compute year-to-year student growth. Data from the new assessment tool will first be available in the spring. The next grades for public schools will be released in the fall of 2016.
